Board Game Thoughts

 As much as I like board games, I almost never find a time that works with others that are willing to play. I work remotely, so my schedule revolves around when I am off and home while others’ work can be more temperamental. This leaves either single player board games or online board games as options to get my game fix. Though it is debatable if you want to call online board games still board games, but I digress. So I was thinking about it. Single player is nice, except one of the main appeals of other players is the social aspect and collaboration of it. However, online is still isolating and the immersion is limited. So what to do?

Then it hit me, what about VR board games? Just imagine “sitting” at a table with a board game sprawled out in front of you. Because it’s a video game, in a sense, pieces can move and interact with avatars (the players). Think the wizarding chess game in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It’s still a simulation, but you could be playing with friends and family that are miles away and still have a sort of visual connection with them that screen and keyboard just can’t quite obtain. 

Anyways, these are my Board Game Thoughts. Ciao for now.
